Overview of Molybdenum Powder
Molybdenum powder is a highly versatile metallic material used as a feedstock in alloys, ceramics, coatings, catalysts, and powder metallurgy applications.
With its high melting point (~2623°C), superior strength, and excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, molybdenum powder is critical in manufacturing high-temperature, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant components.
Depending on its production method and form, molybdenum powder can be:
-
Pure molybdenum powder (≥99.95% purity) for general metallurgical and electronic uses.
-
Spherical molybdenum powder for additive manufacturing (3D printing) and thermal spray coatings, offering excellent flowability.
-
Alloyed molybdenum powders with titanium, tungsten, or zirconium for enhanced mechanical and oxidation resistance.
Key Properties of Molybdenum Powder
🔥 Ultra-high melting point: ~2623°C, suitable for extreme-temperature environments.
💪 High strength and hardness: Maintains mechanical integrity at elevated temperatures.
⚙️ Excellent thermal & electrical conductivity: Ideal for electronics and heat management systems.
🧪 Corrosion and oxidation resistance: Provides durability in harsh chemical and thermal environments.
⚖️ Adjustable particle size and morphology: From sub-micron to tens of microns for tailored performance in sintering, coating, and additive manufacturing.
Production Methods
Molybdenum powder is produced primarily through:
Hydrogen reduction of molybdenum oxides (MoO₃ → Mo) for fine, high-purity powders.
Gas atomization, which creates spherical powders with excellent flow and uniform packing—perfect for additive manufacturing and plasma spraying.
Mechanical milling or alloying, used to introduce specific additives for customized performance.
Applications of Molybdenum Powder
Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing): Spherical Mo powder used for laser or electron beam fusion to build dense, high-temperature parts.
Powder Metallurgy (PM): Produces high-strength components such as dies, nozzles, and furnace fixtures.
Alloys & Coatings: Enhances steel, superalloy, and ceramic composite performance with improved creep strength and corrosion resistance.
Catalysis & Chemical Processing: Serves as a precursor for Mo-based catalysts and compounds.
Electronics & Thermal Management: Used in contacts, heat spreaders, and substrates due to its conductivity and thermal stability.
